And this is based on which study now? How are you really generalizing every marriage based on your past experiences? I am a living example contradicting your wisdom. Happily married with a loyal wife and have a beautiful daughter. I am sorry you have missed out on life's greatest joys. Loyalties are not defined by time, culture, or society (except SA men, most are trained since birth to be assholes) but individual. My advice to you for free.
I cant believe this is an actual input from someone.
I was never ever married, studies point out to record breaking divorce rates, you do the problem solving. Good for you if that's the case, I'm not against marriage. I just don't see the point in it anymore when the majority of humanity have defined our sexuality and relationships today. And that is to explore your 'sexual freedom'. Humans chose that route, and people are raised to live that way, at least the majority. Rarely anybody is seeking serious relationships, and if they are and do, it usually ends in quick divorce.
Cheating absolutely happens at a high rate, it's just people are more creative and sly with it. Both men and women.
This result is not because the world is drifting away from religion. Religion is not responsible for mentalities developed by majority of people. We all chose and played along with the lifestyle change, and have to suffer consequences of it. For most people, the good out weights the benefit. Hence it is prevalent and not reversible. There no longer is any benefit to marriage besides having children. Dedicated relationships can occur without process of marriage, and usually don't last more than 4-5 years.
Religion makes an attempt to foresee the future, and describes such trends as signs of the world going astray, bringing about divine intervention. And religion highlights these as 'bad' or 'evil' trends. In Islam, this is seen in hadith, but what is seen today, is magnitudes 'worse' than what is seen in hadith, yet we see no divine intervention of any sort. So if a God exists, he's being absolutely unfair, period. Or he doesn't exist. The world is changing, and religion no longer has an answer. All they will do is come up with excuse after excuse, or tell people they're misinterpreting things, to keep evolving to remain relevant. The people of the past had it easy, people of today are in 'tribulations'(if we assume God is real) much worse than everyone before them, including the prophets.
So don't be surprised if people learn to adapt to new global culture that is dominant, if it is not a natural change, then by now there should have been divine intervention. But there isn't.
